The best thing anyone can do right now is start teaching those people how to be self-sufficient. Because one day, the demand for their labour will falter, and then they'll be in an even worse position. Well, this is the price that’s paid for all the conveniences we have in the “first world”.

The average American does not keep slaves and would not condone it. A little surprised that there is this much slavery in the US.. But, I would not refute it outright..
